This year in Religion our Lower School is leading us through Lent embracing the three traditional disciplines of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Here is a picture of the fasting discipline that our Second Graders decided on together. We can learn a lot from our little ones who never cease to amaze me with the clarity, simplicity, and passion with which they grasp things that adults sometimes miss.
